SmarterVitamins (3-Pack 200mg Caffeine Pills with 100mg L-Theanine + Coconut MCT Oil, Energy and Focus, Extended Release Capsule, 150 Liquid Softgels

This is an amazing product. I can assure I have NOT been paid for this review I came upon this after looking for some kind of alternative to the caffeine enhanced pain relievers that I know are not good for my stomach. I saw that it had simple vitamins and caffeine. It's working BETTER than I thought. Not only does it keep me alert but it helps keep me focused. I'm not sure what ingredient it is that's assisting in that but whatever it is, It's a godsend. I have a tendency to let my mind wander at work during meetings, and even when I'm at my desk and should be focused on a specific task. In meetings things were going in one ear and out the other because I'd start thinking of what I was going to eat later, what I was going to do after work, what the weather would be like next week or where my vacation would be next year. This has REALLY helped my brain to NOT do those things and I can see and feel a difference in my performance at work. The only drawback that is for me, there IS a little bit of a crash in the afternoon so I do sometimes take another tablet around 230-3pm; my first is usually around 930-10am. It doesn't keep me up at night though. It's also helped me while I'm driving on road trips. I'm on my THIRD bottle, so that should tell you something.

I work a 12 hour shift two days out of the week and I'm used to taking 5 Hour Energy and Drinking Monsters for energy. I was tired of spending $40+ a month just to function and keep myself awake at work. So I did some research and found these. I bought a bottle just to try it out and took one pill an hour before work. I was skeptical but it definitely works to my surprise. I was relaxed but alert the entire 12 hour shift (even after I got home, I would take it no less than 12 hours before needing sleep, or else you'll be in a chill but alert state). I even gave 2 pills to my co-worker and he says it works better at keeping him awake than the Xenadrine he was taking (He asked for 2 more pills the next day and bought a bottle for himself). I like how subtle the energy is. It comes in gently and leaves gently. As it tapers off you won't feel as energetic, but you'll still be alert and focused. It's not a static shock like Monster and it lasts longer than 5 Hour (6+ Hours, 10+ if your not doing any strenuous work). I don't drink Monster, 5-Hour, or grab any iced coffee from Dunk'n Donuts anymore. I mean I can, but I don't need too ^_^.

I have been using this for 2 months and have pretty severe (adult) ADHD: I am prescribed 50mg of ADHD meds a day- which is a high dosage in general, but is near the highest prescribed mg for an adult. I have been taking it daily for 9 years which clearly leads to a tolerance. Even on 50mg a day, I still am spacey, but this supplement has helped me A LOT. This has allowed me to cut my intake to 20-25mg a day, which has been critical in being able to handle my ADHD. I also had my friend with mild ADHD and moderate anxiety (unmedicated for both) try it, and he saw an improvement in his attention without increase to his anxiety or heart rate. So, Is this a good substitute for prescription ADHD medications? Obviously not, that's a ridiculous Is this a good supplement to help boost effectiveness or reduce intake of ADHD meds? I'd say so Can it help you focus while not be anxious? My friend says two thumbs up Does this make you hyper-focus or become a chatty monster? Not that I've seen Will this stain your teeth like tea or coffee? Well no, it's liquid capsule, but it's a surprisingly tropical fruit smelling so that's cool. Should you get it? Well, if you've gotten this far, you are probably like me and your reading every review on every caffeine pill because you are over researching. So, I suggest this one- I already bought more. It's a good price for a good product that has improved my day to day life.

just started taking this and i do like it. no anxiousness or over stimulation. I use it everyday.

As a previous heavy energy drink consumer (primarily Monster Zero), I've noticed that they last (Monster) last long enough that I have trouble sleeping in the evening. I had taken this Smarter Vitamins product on and off last year, and while not as intense I find they're much more practical; as long as I don't take them after 2pm I generally sleep fine. I revisited them this year, and have switched over permanently and eschewed the drinks completely. Basically it's a BulletProof coffee in a pill. There's no stomach issues with these, no jitters, just a nice, smooth feeling of clarity and alertness for an hour or two.

These are the best caffeine pills on the market, and the slow release of energy is even and almost imperceptible. I take these with breakfast or lunch, and it is great to have when travelling. It is surprising how difficult it is to find slow-release caffeine pills. These are worth trying out. Save yourself thousands by kicking energy drinks and skipping the Starbucks line.

Been taking this for years and absolutely love it!! I take one usually twice a day and it’s all I need.

When I first started buying these three packs, I found their taste superior to their MACA-Caffeine counterparts, and pretty effective. But since I started buying these three years ago the price has nearly doubled—and the quality has been the same, or has even diminished. And they now tend to melt together pretty easily in the bottle . If you purchase caffeine elsewhere it’ll likely be just as good, and taking L-Theanine supplements along with caffeine pills gives me greater control of how both chemicals impact me because L-Theanine is incredibly dosage-dependent. You’ll find it used in products that both pep you up in the morning and relax you in the evening, and that’s because different dosages have wildly different impacts—and not all human bodies (weight, gender, age), brains, and metabolisms are the same. If money is no object, you do you; if you’re looking to try something new and affordable, I now prefer caffeine pills and L-Theanine supplements separately. The price is has gone up A LOT—probably because of the national shortage of ADHD stimulant medication. I would wager that demand by those of us who are desperate and at the futile mercy of the FDA/DEA’s incompetence has driven up the price (it climbed pretty rapidly in the last 12 months from about $32/3-pack). The supply/demand shakedown by the manufacturer has been so extreme that the company has forever alienated me. If you want to pay this much for two incredibly ubiquitous chemicals, have at it. I don’t, and the company has lost me for good—I just cancelled my Amazon subscribe and save.
